Global Results - 26 October
There were big winners in South Africa and New Zealand this weekend. Both of them were tense, intense encounters with low scoring – just three tries in two finals.
In Durban the stadium was packed for the Final but in Wellington there were many, many empty seats. But the biggest crowd of the day was in Paris when Toulouse came to play. This time Stade brought their best team and this time they won.
